Guess who we fell in Love with at Margin London? When?: 14 February 2010 : 2:00 pm : We went to check out Margin London on Valentines day (no sadly we didn’t get swept of our feet by our Valentine hunks…) to see for ourselves what street wear has in store for us. Well, for one, there were a lot of t-shirts with great prints but that’s not all of course, we met some exciting designers and cannot wait to get to know them better but here are our highlights: Jojo & Mac An old favourite as I’ve been eyeing up her cardigans for a while!! There is an exciting new range on top of the lovely cardigans but all will be revealed another time. (www.jojoandmac.info) Uncommonly Beautiful If it’s good for the environment, it’s good for us, actually it’s more than good!! We love to see designers being inventive with material and Uncommonly Beautiful does just that. All their jewellery comes from recycled material but again… more to come! (www.uncommonlybeautiful.com) Mr Wingate Although known for his print and t-shirts but we’ve noticed his wall papers and just had to talk to him. Turns out he’s been a busy man with a shop opening just around the corner where he will showcase his interior skills and hopefully we can get our hands on some wallpaper. (www.wingateprint.com) Akira Mushi We love the versatility of the Greek duo’s collection. You can wrap it around and wear it in many different ways. If you are wondering where the name comes from, it’s both of their dogs name, how cute! I’m wondering what type of dogs they are… (www.akiramushi.com) There were lots more designers we loved, but we won’t overwhelm you – instead we’ll cover the ones we loved in lots more detail!
